I took birth control pills for reasons other than birth conrol but stopped because the pills always cause me to gag. If I could chew the pill that would be SO much better. I&#39;m almost 29 btw and not a child. I know another lady who is older than me who has trouble swallowing pills, too.

Whenever I get ill I use chewable pain killers for the same reason - if I&#39;m feeling rough, especially if I have a sore throat or I&#39;m worried I might be sick.

My wife ...It's not just youngsters using chewables. My wife used them when we had our first, and she was 29 at the time; so did my tech's wife. Not everyone can swallow horse pills. (I've also seen women simultaneously taking prenatals and Micronor, so it's not even always pregnant women.)<BR/><BR/>I also remember seeing, back when I was an intern, a girl in her early teens picking up Augmentin, and the computer flagged the interaction with her oral contraceptives. I was trying to counsel her on that interaction (while wondering what such a young girl was doing that she would need them), and she was entirely clueless as to what I was talking about. Turned out she was using them to regulate her period, not to prevent pregnancy. <BR/><BR/>As it happens, chewable prenatal tablets are getting hard to find; the only ones my wholesaler carried were Natachew/Nutrinate, by KV/Ethex, and those are all recalled. If you know of others, preferably with Kosher certification, please let me know... I have quite a few patients, besides my wife, who would be very glad to have them.<BR/><BR/>word verification was "moggogy".
